This and a second volume for the Latter Prophets were both copied by a Jewish scribe in Yemen, Benayah ben Sa'adyah ben Zekharyah ben Margaz, who completed them in 1468 and 1475 respectively. The text in these manuscripts is the basis for the editions of Targum Jonathan on the prophets by Alexander Sperber (The Bible in Aramaic vols. 2-3) and by Menachem Cohen (Mikraot Gedolot ha-Keter). Cohen argues that the living tradition of vocalization for the Targum by Yemenite Jews is the only reasonable basis for a vocalized edition of the Targum.
